Brighton’s beloved Open Market is gearing up for its biggest and brightest Christmas yet, promising a season bursting with festive spirit, local creativity, and community joy.

As always, the Brighton Open Market remains the Christmas heart and soul of the city, a warm and welcoming hub where the community comes together to celebrate, shop, and share.
A Word from the New Co-Chair:
“This is set to be our best Christmas yet—a celebration of everything Brighton Open Market stands for: creativity, community, and independence,” said Vassoula Kypreos, the market’s new Co-Chair. “We’re thrilled to welcome visitors to our festive markets, full of colour, warmth and discovery.
Looking ahead, we’re equally excited to announce plans for a complete redesign of our Market Square in 2026. This will create an even more vibrant, accessible, and community-focused space for all of our traders and visitors to enjoy all year round.”
New Traders and Events on the Horizon
